I've had a couple of ideas of buying something and returning it within the hour to the store with either a fake/broken model, or just filler material. In theory, I would do this with items that are shrink wrapped, so that I could reshrink wrap them and hope that the return counter doesnt open it.

Anybody have any success with this? What sort of items have you done this with? What are the risks of doing it with a big ticket item, like iPhones and iPads?

Thanks!

all i can contribute to this conversation is that i honestly returned a super large 300 dollar item to amazon and as soon as UPS marked it as "received" (to the UPS truck), i got my refund immediately. i was so mad. i could have easily screwed them over.

I have encountered online retailers that are like this and its fun to get free stuff from them.

Religiously but not with high value items. Most expensive item was a $60 video game.
